I have been an assistant prosecuting attorney in Detroit, MI for seventeen
years. I work for Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy in the Wayne County
Prosecutors Office. I am now the Director of the Prosecutor's Conviction
Integrity Unit. This Unit deals with unique issues relative to the closure of
the Detroit Police Crime Lab.
Previously, I was assigned to the Felony Trial Division as a trial
supervisor. I managed a team of seven assistant prosecuting attorneys
that covered five felony trial courtrooms.
I spent approximately eight years in the Homicide Unit specially assigned
to complex and high profile prosecutions.
I mention this to all my potential students. My visual trial skills have
helped carve out a niche in my profession. I've been asked to provide
litigation support on many of our office's most recent high profile cases
including the infamous "text message" scandal involving our former mayor
You too can learn these skills and save your office time and money by
becoming the in-house visual trial expert.

I teach Litigation Technology and Advanced Trial Practice at the
University of Detroit Mercy Law School and the Thomas M. Cooley School
